Killed.?Mr. Eddie Bel! a most relectcd young man, who lived in the Fork [the upper portion of the county was pled yesterday in a molasses mill. He , [is crushed between the rollers. This is o second member of the family that .s met a sudden death. About four ars ago Ja sister of the deceased was I! lied by a fractious horse. We extend! r sympathies to the relatives in their |; I Bereavement. BNotk.?Last week we refused to pub- ' Bill an attack by Mr. Connor's friends mil Capt. J. X. Cochran's friends at odges. This wook we must be oxeus-1. I for not pablishin.ii one from the other j j Ide. We are the friends of both these! lontlomen and can consent to do nothing i rhich would injure either. Wo wish < Lat this whole matter may bo amicably 1 fcttlod. j | Ho? Pkss.?Of all the abominable nui?nces in a crowded town in the sumni ri| Ime, the worst is a hogpen. From it u-j J Qses an effluvia not only uuplo.isant to L [he neighborhood near it, but one which s ? positively unhealthy, and wo think it j i vitliin the province of the Council to as- j (ert authority iu its removal. For coin- IJ non projection all such nuisances should I ( unreported, and the Council requested to j; ksrfcrc. fcrtKl'ARING FOR THE FALL TRADE.?I | Host's Norwood A Jones liave made ar-! i gments to have their store thoroughly | ^ Hrhauled and made more convenient for ! 1 antes*. New shelves are to be put up j sd the store will otherwise be made more [. This is one of the l>i?.st stands i IBbusiness in town, and we predict far t3 enorgetie firm greater prosperity . I jan ever before. We are in receipt of a communication urging the claims of a particular candi- i date. We cannot publish such without i pay. The plan of club nominations de- J prives us even of the usual fee for an- 1 nenmcements, and now to use our col- , urns to advocate the interests of a partie- ; ular candidate is more than v:e can at- ' lord. Kkductioj* of Kates.?Colonel J. P. i Thomas, Superintendent of the Caroli iia Military Institute, bas determined to ( make a reduction of ten per cunt. in the ] expenses of cadets at the institute, thus ; bringing his terms down from JS100 per L term to ?270. This will doubtless be a popular movement, and should add ?o the^patronage of this excellent inntitu-1, tion. See advertisement elsewhere. Yellow FkviJii.?It is useless to try j( to conceal the tact that yellow fever is flow epidemic in New Orleans. Tne President of the Board of Health says, "it ; | would not be proper to issue clean bills of health to vessels leaving this port." j < We hopo niuoli for the alllicted city, but \ the early appearance of the disease, and j; the time it has run, make us dread the j, consequences of the scourge. First Boll of Cotton.?Our subscriber i Mr J. M. Milford. at Antreville presented us with a boll of open cotton last Saturday, the tlrst of the season. Mr. Milford "is one of our best farmers. He! knows how to raise cotton, ami is an/ait j \ on the subjoct of the production of oats), and turnips. I Cl ackers.?Some of our speaking can didates are very remiss in not making ar- j rangments to bo applauded at proper in- ; tervals. If arran^ineuts can be made to ; have six or eight flackers applaud a speak er, it sounds nicely, and is almost sure to J J fool some poor anil ignorant tax payer. I Even Shots. ? "Saluda'' presented one set of views on his preference for , School Commissioner. "Savannah" pi-p- , sents a different set this weok. After < this, communications urging the inter- h ests of a particular candidate will be charged for. I Death.?S.JB. McOlinton, Esq., an aucd j and highly respectable citizen of Cedar Spring in this county, died last Saturday, j lie was woll known and universally re- j spected. He was a Christian. Death had I nil torrnrs for liim. jffiSi The campaign will be an interesting ||fc and a warm one and everybody should jgjffi havoagood paper?subscribe for the P. ?5c B., and keep posted. A man who takes E|5 a paper is entitled to membership in the &? oj>er? eye club. g$ The meeting of the Abbeville BibleSociety was held in the Presbyterian church* ||! last Wednesday. The services were interS5 esling. Kev. John Kershaw preached H one of his best sermons on the occasion. H By referenco to his card in another 1| colmn, it will be seen that Mr. John A. jgji Weir, our faithful School Commissioner, ffi after two years of hard servico on small a pay, has concluded not to be a candidate jj| i'or re-election. I The work on the O'Xeall stores pro? gresses. The sleepers of the first floors fa are in position, and the work goes bravo| ly on. The work 011 Mr. A. M. Hill's G store is above the first story. I It is now generally conceded that GenI eral McGowan will head tho ticket for | the Legislature in Abbeville Couuty. | His election is assured beyond a doubt. Do not stupefy your Daby witn Opium i or Morphia mixtures, but use Dr. Hull's) Babv Syrup which is always safe and re-1 liable and never disappoints. 25 cents. Dr. E. Parker lias the finest turnip seed; on the continent and if you don't sow a patch of bulbous roots you and your cow deserve to starvo next winter. We are glad that the primary elections arc coming on so soon. The source of much personal bickerings and some hostilities will then bo removed. Dipthkkia.?Eugene, son of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Shillito of this towu.died on Wednesday last, ofdiptheria, aged two years and seven months. Calhoun Democratic] No. 2, i will meet at Clear Spring on Saturday, 17th inst, being the day appointed for the primary-election. There seems to bo a disposition to ' --piump ' at tne primary election. Tiiis . is to be regretted. Make a full ticket. Gen. McGowan and Capt. L. W. "White go to Ninety-Six to-day, -where they will probably make speeches. Miss Belcher, ouo of the handsomest i young ladies of Greenvillo, is visiting . Miss Ivy Perrin, of our village. What about that turnip patch? Goto Lawson or to Wardlaw and Edwards and get a supply of the best seed. On Friday 1G there will be a Baskot Pic.-1 i nic at Donnaldsvillo. All candidates are 1 expected to be present. |! Calhoun's Mills, No. 1, will meet at i Mount Cariuel next Saturday, at half- | j^oair uvu o uluck, i It's no use to try to "fly-blow" General McGowau. lie has lived amongst as fifty years. A christian man regardeth the life of his beast and will sow oats and turnips. ] A wise father maketh a glad son, by ' sowing oats to fatten his favorite horse. ^ Turnips are good for man and beast. < Dr. E.

Governor .Manning, as chairman of the comniitce on platform and resolutions, submitted a >latform and report upon the resolution referred o the committee, which were adopted, after some light amendment, as follows : The Platform. The committee on platform and resolutions, tfter having carefully considered the platform of he Democratic party of South Carolina for the real- 187i>, and the various resolutions that were uferreJ to them, beg leaVe to make the followng report: We recommend as the Democratic platform of South Carolina in 1878, enunciations of the same principles, policies and pledges, as were contained n the platform of 1870, wlncli is as follows, :o wit: "The Democratic party of South Caroliia, in Convention assembled, announces the folowing as its platform of principles : We reiterate jur acceptance in perl'cet good faith of tho Thirieenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments :o the Federal Constitution, accepting and standjig upon them; wo turn from the settled and inal past to tho great, living and momentous issues of the present and the future. We rcaftirm the platform of principles announced hv the National Democratic party assembled at St. Louis, and in accordance with the .Icelandion of that platform and the utterances rid acta of our distinguished leader, Made Hampton, we call upon all of our fellow citizen* iiTesjKictive of race, color or previous condition, to unite with us in continuing the work of reform Hid redemption inaugurated by tbe Democratic: party of iSouth Carolina, for it is evident that substantial and lasting reform is impossible within the ranks of the Republican party of this state. We have charged and convicted the Ito publican ncrty with arraying race against race, nealing disturbances and fomenting difficulties; ivith prostituting tho clcetivo franchise, tampering with the ballot-box and holding unfair and fraudulent elections; with having accumulated an 311011110US debt; mismanaged the tinanccs, and injured tho credit of tbe State; with levying L-xorbitaut taxes, and squandering them when xillected, thus wringing from the toil and liveliliood of the honest poor man of the State a large percentuin of his hard earnings without jiving in return any compensation therefor, and recklessly involving in debt a majority of the counties of tho .State. Its management of oiu penal and charitable institutions was a shame 1 - ??'- -1 I /1?. uki a disgrace, ire ujjaitu iu> i^wouuu moralizing, partisan ana disgraceful, and the venality and corruption which characterized even, branch of tlic government, executive, legislative and judicial, as having no parallel in the history ?f nations. It created a multiplicity of unneces v and useless ofilees, complicated in their nysiwj 3 unnecessarily expensive, and can never uin r.nii.

We therefore call upon all of fellow-citif.ens, irrespective of race or past part affiliation to join with ua in preserving tiio goo name of our State, and in maintaining her dign ty and character among tho Commonwealths c I tjiis great country. Wo discountenance all dii ' tmbiuicc of the pcuco of the State, and doaouuc all instigators and promoters thereof, and earnjestly call upon all of onr fellow-citizens,, irroispectlvo of party lines, to exercise forbearanco ! and cultivate good will; and if the government oi the State in continued in our control, we pledge ! ourselves to protect the persons, rights and pro: pertv of all its people, and to speedily bring to ! summary justice any who dare violate them, j Wo desire a fair and peaceable election, api pealing to tho reason and not tho passion of the f people, and have guaranteed by law a fair elecj tion and a fair count. Vfc call upon all of the ; patriot sons of Carolina to join us. Onr object ! is continued reform, retrenchment and relief, } that by honesty and economy we may still further j reduce the taxes and lighten the burdens of the ! people, giving at. the same time absolute security 1 to the rights and property of all. Upon these | ! paramount issues we cordially invite tlio co-oper-1 ! ation of every Democrat and Republican who is I ! earnest and willing to unite with us in this great 1 ; work. iiK.sor.rTtoys and tiikiu fate. ! We recommend to the favorable consideration of I lie Convention the foMowed named j resolutions, and recommend that same do i naj>s, namely: the resolution olt'ored by Mr. J Huist. of Charleston, in relation to the unity t j of I lie Democratic party to Wit: I "H-sntvml, That the unity and integrity of i the Democratic party isofparamountTinportj ancu to the success of our cause and the Wei' fare of our people in the ensuing election, and I wo repudiate all fusion or coalition with the j liepuoiican pariy, aim iuu>u uiu j u.iuikiiij j condemn iin.v Independent movement whatI ever, as inimical to the people and destructive I to their interests and welfare." DECLAMATION OX XMMIOKATION*, ! AVe recommend that the resolution offered j by Mr Aiken l?e laid 011 the table, and otl'cr as {a substitute therefor tiie following: j "Ih-xolml,, That for the development of our i growth as a people, and of our resources as a i state, a bureau of immigration and agriculture j should be established, having for its object the | I encouragement of and holding out induce- | j incuts to honest and industrious emigrants | from other countries to settle among us, and | designed to stimulateincreiiRCdaud improved I j production of whatever may bo grown upon j our will; and we recommend to tlie General Assembly the speedy enactment of sticli laws I as will found such a bureau upon a permanent I and practical basis, and provide for its ready and active operation, totiicattainmentoftliis I desirable end." Iii reference to the resolution of Mr. Trncy I they say: "While we approve oft he principles I contained In the resolution of Mr. Tracy, of i Colleton, in relation to the legislation in this I State, yet we recommend no action thereon, I for the reason that thcsainc principles arc fully announced in the platform of 1.S7U, anil svgain reiterated in the platform herewith reported." The committee recommend that no action he taken on the resolution relating to monopolies, ottered by Mr. Woodward, of Fairtleld, inasmuch as thesune involves no question at- issue between the Democratic and ltepubliean parties: and the committee sec noncccssit.v for its passage by this Convention. Theysay: "We.recommend tlmt the rcsolu| tion of Mr. Tillman, of Kdgticld, on the necesj si ty of calling a constitutional convention, I In; laid on the table; and we make the same I recommendation as to the resolution of Mr, Aiken in relation to the claims presented to ] Congress by post helium loyalists, and known I as'.Southern war claims.'

All of which is respectfully submitted and ^ signed by the committee. j The platform, as presented by the commit- 1 ! toe. was adopted withoutoppositlon ordebate, and tlie only controversy ujjou the report a- 1 rose on the recommendation of the com It- J ! tec to lay on the table the resolutions ottered ; by Mr. Tillman in relation to the calling of a 1 I Constitutional Convention, and by Hon. D. ? I \\\ Aiken in relation to war claims. | DEFEATING A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. Mr. Tillman's resolutions wcfcas follows: Whereas t!)l? present Constitution of.South 1 i 'arolina, besides being the odious handiwork of fools, knaves, aliens and bayonets, is not 1 only ill adapted to the circumstances and 1 needs of our people, climate and pursuits, but isaiso toouumbcrsomc and expensive for a 1 sniiili thinly settled and impoverished State; therefore be it resolved: : 1st. That the next Gcncr.it Assembly should pass an net submltt-Iiu; to the riualiflcd . voters of llic Stiite the mtcstion of "i'onven- ' lion" or "No Convention" to frame a new Constitution suitable to our wan Is and means,, | 2d.

Mr. Tillman supported his resolution In nn eloquent and fiery speech, the conclusions of which were that, the people of South Carolina never could be entirely frccatid disenthralled - jiiii iney nan inriMvn on incmiseraoieuonsM- ( tutioii fastened npon them by bayonet* and I i I carpet-baggers. Ho bold I lie.

The resolutions were tabled j I by a large majority. AIKKN AND WAR CI.AIM8. . < f'ol. Aiken's resolutions were ns follows: J i Whereas, the political status of every citl- 1 zen of South during the war of the rebellion || i (so called/ was well known and unmistakably i defined either as a Confederate or Federal symi pathizer; and whereas no Confederate would, under the law. be recognized 111 an appeal to ! the general government for reimbursement of losses individually sustained during the war; therefore, HcMulvrd, That all those claims presented to Congress by pout l/rllum loyalists, and known as 'Southern war claims'' are prima facta of 1 I doubtntl validity, and should only lie approv- 1 ed after beingsubjectcd tothcelosest scrutiny land most critical examination. HcKOlrcil, That in the opinion of the Drmoreats of South Carolina Southern war claims are not subjects for congressional legislation, but should be reieral to some tribunal established and authorized to give them final adju The debate on Ihis resolution was participated in by Col. Aiken apd Messrs. Gaston, Tllman and T. II. Cooke for the resolution, | and Samuel Dibble and Col. Evins against It in its present shape. Ily those favorlng.tlie resolution it was held t ha tits passrgo was necessary in order to set the youth right and to ! counteract the terrible agitations raised over I tliis question at the North, when? so much political capital lias been and is being made at the expense of the Democratic party. Those opposing held that Its passage was not necessary, and would be misconstrued. On motion ' of the Hon. T. II. Cooke, the resolution was tabled. ! In relation to the endorsement of thecoursc of Senator Hutler, and representatives Aiken and Evins in Congress, (Jen. Garllngton moved to amend by ths substitution of the following: "Their whole course on thlssubjcct." He said he could not endorse their course on all matters. Hon. >f. P. O'Conner spoke against ] the amendment, and Gen. Garllngton's moj tion was tabled. Gen. A. C.
